They finished their programmes for the
2013/2014 academic session. While 3,675 graduated with National Diploma
(ND), 1,302 graduated with Higher National Diploma (HND).
Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, charged the graduands to think towards self employment.
The governor also advised the graduands
to be innovative and exceptional in whatever endeavor they find
themselves, urging them to emulate geniuses including Bill Gates.
Ajimobi also told the audience at the
convocation ceremony that he would continue to support the institution,
maintaining that as an individual. he cherishes education and its
importance in people’s lives.
He said: “I stand before you today
addressing you simply because of the fact that I am educated. Without
education, I doubt whether I would have that opportunity. Not that I was
born with silver spoon, my
father was a tailor before he became a
parliamentarian. Then, I used to trek from Oja-Oba (Ibadan ) to Aperin,
eating fried plantain.
Today, that school boy is the governor addressing
you. I believe in handwork and doing something exceptionally. I assure
you that we shall continue to support you but I would want the
management to ensure that we sit down together regularly to discuss
about challenges being faced by the institution so that we can tackle
them, so that when next I come here, it will not be that you will table
your requests before me because we would have tackled those requests.”
